The English 10.5 Critical Paper

This is a five-page paper that makes a single, controlled point about The Catcher in the Rye using quotes and details from the novel, as well as quotes from at least three secondary sources (professional critics) to help defend your thesis.

Your paper will be typed, double-spaced, and follow all guidelines from the North Penn Writing Guide. You will use MLA-style parenthetical citations to give proper credit to the author of every secondary source article you quote (a minimum of ten quotes from these three critics is required). A Works Cited page should appear on the final page of your paper (this will appear on what is at least the SIXTH page, since your paper is expected to be five FULL pages).
